Hello, I'm asking this question because I haven't found an answer on the control panel of my forum.

Does the forum allows a section where you can put links to download pretty much anything? such as links to wallpapers, icons, software, etc? not talking about upload it to the forum server, i mean a display where forum memeners can see the links i offer.

Forums that does welcome or promote warez, piracy, hacking, cracking, spamming, attacks against networks or servers, pornography, racial hatred, crimes against humanity, inappropriate activities on the servers, or any other actions which violate any applicable laws, aren't allowed. Any forum which contains texts, links, pictures, animations, videos or any other content recognized as Illegal will be deleted without notice or warning. Forumotion.com reserves the right to delete any accounts or forums considered not conform to the rules quoted here or specified in Forumotion.com or in the international website rules according to the international internet law. Any Illegal content or act and will be reported to the concerned services and prosecuted.

no, that is for attachments or posts, what i want to do is a place where the members of my forum can download patches, free software, wallpapers, icons, etc, things like that, its a page where you can find all you need, this does not means that forumotion will host the files, but we should host it on personal servers and we should be able to create the links on the forum for members to download, that is the download section for.

What? Even free mixtapes released on Datpiff.com (a LEGAL music website where artists like Lil Wayne and his label release free music to the fans?) and I cannot post a a link to that page on a forum I own? That doesn't make sense.

That's what Datpiff.com IS, artists release free music on there that just didn't cut it for albums so they make FREE-2-DOWNLOAD mixtapes so that fans can post around on forums. I cannot post links like that even though that's what the artists and label want, along with the Datpiff website?

EDIT: I understand that you cannot post torrents and other illegal downloads to music, TV shows, ect. on your own forum. But, the above ISN'T the same. Not even close.

i agree, what i'm referring is legal free software, my forum is a gaming community, we also own dedicated servers, and administrating this servers requires software such as rcon tools, which are totally free, and legal, besides maps, patches, etc, that is my main intention with a download section on the forum.

I think that with the proper guidelines, this section should be added to the supported options on the forumotion platform.....just saying
